1. What’s Your Project?
The type of project you’re working on can help direct your font choices. Will it be in print or displayed on a website (or both)? Is it for a major publication like a newspaper or magazine, or a casual newsletter? Handmade product labels or high-end wedding invitations? Or perhaps you have a poster that calls for a retro-style logo with bold headlines.
In other words, some projects might call for a less formal look with a sans-serif or hand-lettered font, while more elaborate designs require a brush script or classic-looking serif font. Once you have a theme in mind, it can help you narrow down potential font categories much quicker.
2. What’s Your Design Aesthetic?
Think about the target audience and the image you’re hoping to project. Do you cater to a younger crowd or an older, more sophisticated demographic? Think about the colors and images you use in your branding – are they playful and light, neutral and timeless, or deep and mysterious?
Your font choices should fit in naturally with the materials – something cutesy might not resonate with a mature or high-end crowd, while plain-looking fonts wouldn’t reflect a lively personality.
